lApplioation filed J1me 6,1905. Serial No. 263,758.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ENGLAND J BARKER, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Morgan Park, in the county of Cook and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inType-Writing Machines, of:'which the iollowing is a full, clear, andexact description.

The object of my invention is to feed the platen of a type-Writingmachine with pa er from'a continuous roll and do this in sue a way thatthe reciprocal platen-carrier will not have to support the weight ofsaid roll or in such a manner -that the manipulation or operation of themachine will bemoredifficult. This I accomplish by the means hereinaftermore fully described and as particu! larly pointed out in the claims.

In the'drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a type-Writing. machinefrom which most of the parts not 006 erative with my invention areremoved. ig"; 2 is a rear elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan viewthereof. Fig. 4 is a diagrammatical view in T e drawings illustrate myinvention'as a plied to a well-known type-writing ma c e now extensivelyin use; but it will be readily perceivedthat my improvements can be usedin connection with any make of typeplaten.

In the drawings, A represents the supporting-frame of the maclnne, B thereciprocal carriage, and C the cylindrical laten suitably journaled inthe ends of s'ai carriage. I Secured to and projecting horizontally Ifrom the rear of'the carriage, preferably near one end and at rightang)es to the axis of the platen,is a guiding-arm For conyenience ofconstruction I prefer to secure the arm D to its support by means of a;screw-plate d, and as the rear part of thecarriage to which thisscrew-plate is fastened is below the horizontal plane in-which theengaged portion of said arm is arranged said arm extends ver ticallyfromits screw-plate a short distance and then horizontally to the rear,as stated..

Near the other endof'the platen another guiding-arm E is secured tc/therear of the carriage in a similar manner by means of a screw-plate, e.This arm extends vertically slightly above t from its screw-plate to ahorizontal plane at occupied by 'arm' D, and then extends obliquely,referably at an angle of about forty-five egress, horizontally 'course,so that'it leaves said arm E a horizontal railsor bars at, from thecenter of length of which suitable bearing-studs F and G projecthorizontally to the rear; These studs are of sui'ficient length forrolls of paper H- and I to be journaled thereon, and

their rear endsare threaded and have washers' f and nuts 9 mountedthereon for retaining the rolls in place. The webs of paper from theserolls extend in a vertical'direction to and around the overhanginghorizontal portion of arm D, and then horizontally in atransverse'direction to, under, andqaround arm E, which latter beingarranged obliquely to the path of the web of paper changes itsproximately at right'angles to the directlon the web moved between armsD and E. From arm E the pa er extends to and under the platen O in t eusual manner, where it is manipulated the same as sheets of paper usedin the type-writing machine now onthe market.

The operation of my invention is ap arent from the foregoingdescription. As t e carriage is reciprocated a slight slackness of theWebs of (pa er will be apparent between therolls an t e iding-arm D E.This will not interfere, operationof the invention, althou h it will beevident that this slackness, if 0 jected to, may be taken up bymechanical expedients well known to a skilled workman. 1

I do not desire to be confined to the employment of two rolls of aper,because, if desired, one roll only nee be employed, or, if desired, morethan two rolls might be emoWever, with the successful ployed. This wouldsimply re ulre the use platen journaled therein, and means on andprojectmgfrom the rear of said carriage for changing the course of theweb of paper from said-roll and'fe'eding it to said'platen always at thesame angle to the axis.
